I create illustrations of military insignia and other random ideas that pop into my head. With those illustrations I create designs for multiple online stores including Cafe Press, Zazzle, Spread Shirt, and a PikiCentral store called J Meyer Designs.

Cafe Press shirts

I previously wrote about my experience of ordering shirts from Cafe Press. I designed and ordered a shirt from my personal store, after receiving it I had a chance to wear and wash it a few times. So far the shirt is holding up well to washing with no noticeable fading of the colors. I think the shirt shrank a bit after washing it once so I should have got a larger size but that's not a big issue. I do recommend ordering shirts from Cafe Press, but can only recommend lighter shirts with printing for now since I have not ordered a dark shirt.
I had ordered from zazzle a dark shirt with printing and that experience was not so great for the person I got it for. They say the printing came off after the first wash, Zazzle says there must have been a printing error and would replace it. That situation is still pending a pic from the recipient. I can not recommend dark shirts at Zazzle for now and have no experience with light shirts either. Stay tuned.
